Posts # 1 and 2: Introduction of Violaine/Violet

Post # 20 new recruit: Damian (Devil may Cry V)


——————————————

Here's now the last available creation of mine for the time being. As it is a bit photo heavy and as the lady is interacting with other figures, she gets a separate thread.
Don't take her biography too seriously Wink


As many kids in well-to-do families, Violaine de Luca had been equipped with ample unobserved time from a very early age. Given her phenomenal talent to drive any nanny or bodyguard totally mad, the staff employed to take care of her had been all too happy to just look the other way when Miss de Luca felt like venturing out by herself. Everone knew there was no need to fear any questions from the parents about the whereabouts of their daughter. Violaine's talent to attract trouble was seconded only by her talent to reflect this very trouble exponentially to her surroundings. Knowing this, her caretakers were confident to see Violaine back at home safe and sound and gladly enjoyed a leisurely afternoon or a good night's sleep. Their concerns about possibly having to convey bad news to the parents about the mischievous brat gone missing were next to nil.

Violaine prefered to spend her time in the rather dubious quarters of her hometown. When she ran into a street gang at the age of 6, the teenagers considered her an easy prey and entertainment on a boring day, but witty and agile Violaine taught them differently. At 8 the little mastermind had started to unite the different gangs under her leadership. Just as her parents controlled the better part of the economy through their corporate empire, Violaine was resolved to achieve the same on the less legal markets. She excelled at persuading people with her knives which soon earned her the name "Vicious Violet". Apart from the knives she grew very fond of a whip which creatively increased the small person's reach.

One day a particularly eager "employee" presented her with two wolf puppies - and made the mistake to boast how he had had to kill their mother to get hold of them. His reward was an immediate nocturnal visit to the local zoo's tiger compound where the zookeepers were faced with a rather unpleasant sight the next morning. Violet raised the pups, Aky and Nala, and they do not appreciate to be separated from her.

With increasing age Violane had to play her parents' model daughter ever more frequently thereby getting to know even more people in crucial positions. All the while she cultivated her shadow identity as Vicious Violet and enjoyed being one of the most sought after hitman.

When her parents died in a mysterious fire on the family's yacht and Violaine took over the de Luca's corporate empire at the age of 24, she'd been at the helm of the country's largest crime syndicate for 3 years. Nonetheless Vicious Violet is still fully dedicated to enthusiastically execute the most challenging hit jobs herself.

As for the introduction of Violaine de Luca, I had finished her just in time for a Christmas theme... that does not work quite as well right now as we are heading for Easter but let's just assume you do not mind...


The de Luca Christmas Charity Gala which is being held every year early on in the Advent season is THE event not to be missed. High Society's who's who is vying for seeing and being seen whilst seeking to excel at donations.

Violaine is always in the company of her right hand, Mr Jonathan Wick, who is also in charge of selecting and positioning the event's bodygards.

Once the crowds have left and the lights are dimmed, Violaine and John can make themselves more comfortable.

Both look wonderful!
I really like Violaine, her black outfit is amazing, and it's a great idea you painted her lips black, it suits her really well.

The diorama is great too. Lots of detail.

Stunning work on both figures, amazing diorama and group shots. The crime headquarters made me chuckle, as they simultaneously resembled an impromptu petting zoo. Am I the only one to notice and appreciate the beadwork with Violaine's initials on her purse? And excellent integration of existing or customized characters/figures into your story and photography.

Both looks for this character are outstanding!!! Can't decide which one I like best! And her backstory is extremely entertaining, I love it! The diorama in the headquarters is hilarious, delightful, just perfect!

Your beadwork continues to be exquisite and incredibly creative. Love your use of that purple haired headsculpt with the black outfit and the purple-ish beads (her necklace has a 'V' on it as well, I noticed). The party dress with the somewhat assymetrical design is beautifully excuted, too.

Liking her and John Wick together. Guess it also works for Valentine's Day. Wink Cool  

The wolf pups are precious and really make the whole thing. But then I am biased as I have two (real) wolfdogs myself and neither of them care to be parted from me either. :')

What material did you use for VVs gloves and sheath? I'm still learning all the names of things...

Thanks so much everyone, I am happy you enjoy my stuff and that you find a moment to drop a line. It certainly helps to keep my morale up to continue fiddling...

Chip wrote:You are most talented , I love the diorama , and I am a sucker for animals ....even plastic ones .

so kind of you; yes, the 1/6 animals are really tempting. With the exploding choice of animals it is getting ever harder to resist. Just a pity they are not articulated (yet).

Thank you. It was the first time I tried a lip repaint and it occured to me pretty late in the process that I should give it a try (not without making sure I could buy the head again if it had gone wrong.). But somehow the figure just screamed for it (as well as for the black nails).

Thanks so much - LOL, the „impromptu petting zoo“ is a lovely association. Like it. A collector in a German forum spoke of a „picture puzzle of evil“ ( not sure this translates that well). I liked that one too. I often try to have a funny note in my stuff. Happy that it worked for you.
I greatly appreciate your scrutiny to pick up the initials.Smile

davidd wrote:The glamorous gown is outstanding! I particularly like the first photo of "Violaine" in her elegant attire!

Thank you. Initially, the idea was to have it long and wide and flowing... then I noticed my sewing skills would not suffice... So, the plan was changed to match feasibility. But I am content with this too. Cocktail party over ball gown. I will keep trying though  alien

oh, a bias indeed Very Happy
a Valentine‘s Day impression... Yes, why not. I love you  That is just one long lasting Christmas tree then ...
There is the advanced eagle-eye award for spotting the V.  Wink The necklace is indeed meant to signal a nested VV. Not an easy one as the design is rather common for a necklace.
I am so happy you have been having fun with the whole set-up.

Happy you are having fun with it too!! (another Coulson Fan here? he is such a sweetheart  Laughing )
The gloves and sheath are the same material as the jacket. It is some type of faux leather. It is very soft with a textile back. Might be subject to the shortcomings of faux leather and disintegrate sooner or later Sad .
I am not familiar with different fabrics and just pick up whatever comes my way and might be of use ... got this from a sale of remnants. (It‘s the colour of eggplant, not black.)


Forgot this shot of Violaine and Violet side by side. Funny what a difference the high heels make.
(Violaine may look a bit stiff, but it is really tricky to get her to stand on her own. No fancy posing unfortunately without a support. My shoe design is a bit fragile. Embarassed )

maybe one closer look at the hair (the head comes with the braid, so, just a way to pimp braids a bit)

Absolutely amazing photos and backdrops! Everyone looks great, and the tailoring and intricate beadwork on the custom characters' outfits is so well done.

Also hmmm...Nick Fury recruiting John Wick, Neo, Penguin and Tyrion? Are they Plan B for when The Avengers fail?!

Wonderful character creation and look! As the others have mentioned already, simply stunning outfits. I really like the group photos with her mixing with the others, so terrifically presented Very Happy . I hope we get to see more of this mysterious group, as well as the young women of this thread bounce

Vicious Violet's story is great, but her outfit is top notch. Reminds me of something maybe from Deus Ex or any similar setting.

Violaine's outfit is also great. Amazing work overall.

Well, I did not post them for extra praise - but thank you! Wink - I just noticed I had not posted any shots of Violaine with a white backdrop but quite a few for Violet. So, I thought she should get at least one. Very Happy

Thanks so much! well, wouldn't be the worst Plan B, would it alien - however, Violet would have to take that decision as she is the one in charge, but I guess she would play along for the greater public good.

Very glad, you like it too. I also hope to revisit this group with some type of story and bring them back.

When I first saw this guy on preorder (Asmus Toys - Devil May Cry "V"), I did like him, but decided NOT to get him... well... as he is getting in stock now, my determination just was nowhere to be found.
And Violet insisted that he would fit THAT well into her team. Couldn't be helped...

I do not know the game "Devil May Cry" and do not know the character (called "V"). I did a very basic research and like the demon blood aspect that causes the tattoos.
He'll have his own identiy in Violet's crew, going by the name "Damian" and being responsible for occult affairs.

I cannot really comment on the material of the arms which is neither the known hard plastic nor is it as soft as silicone... The arms cannot bend that nicely, max 90 degrees and they do keep falling off at the slightest touch. Rolling Eyes

Also his head is a bit wobbly... Just hope the tattoos will last and all of this is not a pioneering concept of Asmus to align shelf life with character life, as I read the following about "V":
In the second half of the game, V's deteriorating condition caused his skin to become flaky and cracks to gradually form on his skin, showing that he was literally falling apart. In this state, he could barely hold himself up, even with his cane, and required Nero to drag him into the Qliphoth's lowest chambers...

We will see  alien

(The black cape is not part of his outfit/accessories. He comes with the cane, spare hands and the book.)

Great images! Some of them even look like a real person at first glance!

Those Devil May Cry figures have great headsculpts, wish there were more third party generic heads like theirs.
